The log bridge is shortly before the cutoff to Lone Pine Lake as you are ascending from the trailhead.

Lat: 36°34'33.75"N
Lon: 118°15'5.85"W

It's visible on Google Earth. It's not quite 2.5 miles from the trailhead.

Erhard, altitude can be a problem. It affected me for several days when I did that hike.

I would not climb Whitney and then head back down to Guitar Lk. to retrieve my tent.
You can even camp on on the summit of Mt Whitney (carry 3 liters of water from Guitar Lk).

If you leave your pack at the junction of the JMT and the main Mt Whitney trail, put all your food in a rodent-proof container, outside your pack. Squirrels and marmots will chew through the pack.

OAP still has some snow on the upper end of the trail. NAP has a small passable snow bank at the last switchback.

I just returned from Rock Creek and the Upper Miter Basin near Crabtree Pass (July 3rd - 6th). The mosquitoes at Rock Creek are terrible, as is the entry into Miter Basin (swarms on the attack!).

Sky Blue Lake had a few bugs, but not many. Upper Lakes near Crabtree Pass had no bugs.

I forgot how nasty the bugs are in early summer in the Sierra. I usually wait to hike deep into the Sierra from late August to October to avoid the swarms of blood-thirsty mosquitoes.

Hope this helps!
